12v constant? cd install

[jgt]

while installing a new cd deck, I think I blew the fuse to the 12v constant (yellow wire). Called crutchfield and they helped my troubleshoot it (works when we hot-wire it to switched red wire) but no power when when wired to yellow.

 

He said there should be 2 10amp radio fuses. I only see 1 10amp fuse for the radio. What am I not seeing? This is for a 92 XE w/ no stock amp. What are the large relays above the fuses in the fuse box? Thanks to anyone who can tell me where the fuse it is that I blew. - jules

figured it out, looked in the elect. part of the service manual and saw the int. lights were 'battery'. So that was the 10amp fuse that I took out to replace the blown radio 10amp fuse. I suppose that makes sense that the int dome lights have a constant power, shheesh.

FYI, all WD21's have factory amps.

 

what type of deck did you install? if its an Alpine Vpower, run a 12 or 10 gauge wire strait from the batt. those damn HU are power hunger.
